About Susan Gudgell

We have been on Orcas Island for many decades (in fact Wally grew up here!), so know the island well. We can suggest not only popular travel adventures, but little known gems on island backroads.

Susan Gudgell purchased this Condo in 1990

Why Susan Gudgell chose Eastsound

We purchased this property for love of the historic Porter Building, located next door. For years this portion was vacant, occupied by a parking lot and dumpsters. We dreamed of beautifying the shoreline, dedicating a beach access to the public and building stairs to the water. At last we've completed our vision with the 'Main Street Station.' SeaStar Lofts allows us to welcome travelers to our favorite place in the world.

What makes this Condo unique

Sipping coffee or a glass of wine on the patio, breathing in that clear island air, and contemplating the view! We also love wandering around the village, hiking in the Turtleback Mountain Reserve, and exploring Moran State Park. We know many of the restauranteurs in town and there are a remarkable number of delicious options for an evening out.

As a Seattle native, and now a native of neighboring Guemes Island, I've been coming to Orcas for about 50 years. Staying at cabins in Deer Harbor, writing a travel article 25 years ago about an historic hotel in Eastsound called the Outlook Inn, staying at Rosario Resort also with it's historic story, being on a yacht at Rosario numerous times, camping on nearby Jones Island on a sailboat. This is the BEST spot to stay on Orcas. Pop out the door and the town of Eastsound is at your feet. Great restaurants, the history, the view.

We loved everything about our stay at Windward Studio. It had everything we needed and was comfortable and roomy. And the view is amazing. Susan was a great host and even checked up on us when the island experienced a brief power outage. When we return to Orcas we will definitely plan to stay here again. Kim

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Windward Studio for vacation. From the moment we entered the rental, we were impressed and felt "at home". The location was great, and the kitchen was fully equipped. The Island Market had everything we needed to prepare a great meal. We enjoyed hiking in the day, and then coming back to rest, relax, and watch tv in the evenings. We would definitely recommend this place ! Thank you for your hospitality :)
